Who doesn’t love bacon? It’s smoky, salty, and absolutely fantastic – and it’s also completely saturated with fat. Whether applewood smoked, maple cured, thick cut or thinly sliced, bacon is definitely one of the more unhealthy options in the typical American diet.

Fortunately, you don’t have to give up the great flavor of bacon if you’re watching your waistline. Healthier alternatives do exist. Canadian bacon has just 50 calories and 2 grams of fat per serving, compared with more than 150 calories and 12 grams of fat per serving in regular bacon. Turkey bacon is also a leaner choice, adding only 100 calories and 7 grams of fat per 1-ounce serving to your meal.

Pile Canadian bacon on an English muffin half, top with a poached egg and sprinkle with low-fat cheese, and your breakfast will only cost you 330 calories. With regular bacon, that meal contains a whopping 430 calories and loads more fat. Swap out turkey bacon on your BLTs and stick with mustard instead of mayo, and you’ve got yourself an easy-on-the-hips, 300-calorie meal. So don’t say goodbye to bacon; say hello to its slimming alternatives.
